CLP - 17 - President Trump Makes an Announcement on Medical and Scientific Findings for America's Children Kelly - Dj Rea Reaburn

• On September 22, 2025, President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced unproven claims linking Tylenol and vaccines to autism at a White House briefing.
• Their claims stem from decades of controversy and disputed research, with Kennedy repeating debunked vaccine theories and Trump urging pregnant women to avoid Tylenol despite no clear evidence.
• Medical experts and autism researchers widely reject these links, emphasizing genetics as the primary risk factor and warning that untreated fever poses greater harm than acetaminophen during pregnancy.
• Researchers and public health leaders criticized the administration for sidelining science, with CDC experts not consulted on the announcement and concerns about political agendas undermining credible research.
• The controversy risks causing people to avoid vaccines and Tylenol despite safety, while calls persist for transparent, evidence-based studies to clarify autism's complex causes.
